Yes, I am big fan, booster as well. Terrapin Club member. It is a shame what happened to Tate with his knee injuries. I still think with even his knees, now being a a year removed will still project out at as a midround pick 4-6th rounder because of his versatility S/LB combo and Special team player. All 4th rounders and beyond are major risks for whatever reason, but his upside if he can remain healthy makes him really attractive bargain. His proday and combine will be important as anybody's. Two years ago he was a 2nd round talent, now I bet he is a 4th or 5th rounder, and could go higher with his showings in the combine and proday.

Yeah you might be right if he can still run a 4.4 like he could in HS he'll be ok draft wise. Hopefully some NFL team can figure out how to use him situationally.

At his weight and speed, if he can run in the 4.5's with a good(cone drill) actually the cone drill IMO, is more important he will shoot up the boards.

I hope not for his sake. Then his pro day will be even more important. Where did you see the combine participation list? I would like to see that myself. I know at his height at 6'4" and weight about 220 lbs or so, his cone drill will need to be good and has long arms, if he can run in the 4.5-4.6 range that's attractive.

Re: Ok, here it is....my official projected 2013 roster
Something tells me that the Ravens are going to draft either Minter or T'eo in the first round, and might move up to do it if need be.

I'd be okay with either. Minter is just such a stud IMO. I know Matt Elam is an attractive player, but I think we can find players in the 2nd round more comparable to Elam in the 2nd round with guys like Rambo, Jefferson, and Reid. There is no Minter in the 2nd round.
Like I said earlier, Minter might be one of the top 15 players in this draft, but he's undervalued given his position and the presence of some other guys like Ogletree and Teo. He is a 3 down player and him and Ellerbe in coverage would be formidable.

I won't claim any insider glimpse into this, but I would guess that Tate is off a lot of team's draft boards altogether. I think that's why a 7th round stab at him by the Ravens might be about all he gets. The Ravens can IR him for a year without any true need for that pick, and hope he gets back to the player he was in 2010.
